Hell and High Water

I understand that phrase just a little better now. This weekend it rained,
and it rained, and it rained some more. And the wind blew.

On Saturday morning I was about half way to the gym when I got caught in
Mother Nature's wrath.

I was trudging along in the monsoon when the wind caught my umbrella. And
Mother Nature took that well-constructed, sturdy, durable piece of
equipment, chewed it up, spit it out, and there in my hand was nothing but
the handle and the red piece of material.

I stood there in the pouring rain shocked. The whole mechanism that
supported the canopy was destroyed. I thought it was an isolated incident,
but as you can see in the photo, it happened a lot.

The weather folks say it's going to be 60 degrees and sunny on Thursday.
Bring it.
